Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 3 tablespoons White miso paste
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Mirin
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil (for greasing grill)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. This will be the miso glaze.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and brush the glaze generously over the flesh side of each fillet. Let the salmon marinate for 10 to 15 minutes while you heat the grill.

Step 3

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan or grates, lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until the skin is crispy and the fillet starts to release easily from the grill.

Step 5

Flip the salmon fillets carefully and cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C).

Step 6

Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Step 7

Garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness.
